Let's make the world a better place by hacking at Crapathon Helsinki!
When was the last time you spent a day without going to the toilet? 2.6 billion people on earth don't have toilets and need you to solve the issue!
This year's World Bank hackathon's theme is sanitation. Sanitation is not only about toilets but about clean water and health. Challenges are enormous, opportunities are incredible.

You can buy a toilet or equipment to Zambia from
our shop (in Finnish).
Or make a free sum donation for a good purpose and we'll improve sanitation and health conditions in Zambia.
In our projects we give hygiene education and build drytoilets for the schools, clinics and vulnerable families.
People become healthier and they will have better future ahead.
